import fs from 'fs';

const pptx = fs.readFileSync('training.pptx');
const job = await ac.conversions.create({
  file: new Blob([pptx]),
  filename: 'training.pptx'
});

// For large files, poll until the job completes
let status = job;
while (status.status !== 'completed' && status.status !== 'failed') {
  await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 2000));
  status = await ac.conversions.get(job.job_id);
